Read this theory of operations, notice the network wires are going to be a twisted pair. By the Bus Failure Messages(2nd diagram) it shows what certain voltage levels can mean, this is very helpful. I would also go around and check every Grounding location, any green/whitish crusties in ground wires is a fail. You can voltage drop from B+ terminal to the Alternator to battery wire, so testing positive to positive, see what you get for voltage drop while cranking. you can do this with the Ground side as well, from battery negative to the engine block, frame, body etc. You should not see much of anything, you want as close to zero volts as possible.
Check bulk connectors for corrosion inside the pins. This car is pretty old now, so wiring issues are not surprising. But go through this, see what you have, make sure your meter has a good ground when testing, check it with known good power.
